I feel bad for them, damned if they do damned if they don't.
the endgame of AI 'safety' and 'ethics' is killing the competition and consolidating the technology within the hands of a handful of megacorps. they do it all on purpose, and they are more than willing to accept minor inconveniences.
this is blatantly obvious to everyone, even the people who play dumb and pretend otherwise (e.g. 'journalists')
This is definitely an age gate I’ll stand behind. C++ has unimaginable power to ruin the minds of our young children.
Kid: "I AM NEVER USING RUST, I HATE MEMORY SAFETY AND I HATE YOU!" door slam
several people have suggested this is a result of additions to the training data, which if true, is hilarious. Google have wasted at least $10s mil. training this, all the while on training data annotated with 90s-style regex filters.
Anyone familiar with C++ willing to speculate what about the language feature (or things people have written about it) that may have triggered the safety guardrails? Something like a blog post cheekily titled "C++ concepts: adult supervision required"?
I would guess a lot of SO comments probably say that concepts (a template/metaprogramming feature) are "dangerous" or "unsafe." It probably makes the connection with actually dangerous and unsafe things (like guns or drugs or whatever), so it sticks'em in the same bucket. Bingo: https://imgur.com/a/einQ1mG

> 1972 - Dennis Ritchie invents a powerful gun that shoots both forward and backward simultaneously. Not satisfied with the number of deaths and permanent maimings from that invention he invents C and Unix. http://james-iry.blogspot.com/2009/05/brief-incomplete-and-m...
I laughed out loud. Is this actually a common sentiment in some circles, or just someone blowing off steam? The question occurs to me because I feel like I just spent 30 years on forums like HN reading nothing but effusive praise for the cleverness and elegance of C and Unix.
They both were extremely important on the popularization of computers and on unlocking the huge amount of value they provide today. But not due to any quality that we value today.

Its clear that Google Search is censored in the same way, its just been really hard to tell that that was the case.
I can't tell if it's just due to the available stock photos or what, but DDG / Bing images also fail the "white man and white woman" search test.

Its very amusing to me to compare "content moderation" applied to social media versus LLMs. The last 15 years we've seen some of the most awful and bizarre things happen on social media where motivating mantra seemed to be "move fast and break things." Now we have a company "trying" to be more responsible when they are releasing a new technology and they are having hilariously terrible results... (hilarious because u…
Which is exactly why people mock this being referred to as "safety". Keep in mind the group mocking this PR bubble-wrapping of AI is largely opposed to the media professionals writing panicked editorials about how they were able to trick an AI into saying racism is good.
